Ideal Applicant
A community-serving nonprofit with programs in the Texas Hill Country (education, community services, faith-based programs, housing, youth, health) seeking general operating or program support.
Good Fit
- • A clear service footprint in the Texas Hill Country or one of the foundation's listed counties.
- • Requests framed as general operating or community program support rather than one-off research projects.
- • Budget requests sized to mid-range grants (many awards in the $10K–$50K band; some larger awards up to several hundred thousand).
- • Local credibility, partnerships, or demonstrated community impact in counties the foundation lists.
Geography
Giving is heavily focused in Texas (about 88% of dollars) while occasional out-of-state grants appear across 12 states; the footprint is regional/state-level with limited national reach.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 133 distinct recipients across many mission areas and three years of history show 105–133 recipients annually, indicating a broad and diverse recipient set rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct behavioral evidence supports entry by new organizations—about 45% of 2024 recipients were new and the funder added roughly 60 new grantees in that year—combined with a public website and named grants staff, even though formal application instructions were not posted.
